Adrian Belew - Dig Me

It’s here I sit amid this ruin and rancor


Like tire ironstoothy grillsand car parts before me


The acid rain floods my floorboards


Burns my poresand rots my upholstery


Once I was worshippedpolished magnificently


Now I lay in decay


By the dirty angry bay





I’m ready to leave


I wanna get out of here


I’m ready to ride away


I don’t wanna die in here


I’m ready to ride





My skin is metallic nownow longer an elegant powder blue


My body unhinged and sleeping in the jungle


Of motor block manifolds and metal relics


What was deluxe becomes debris


I never questioned loyalty


But this dead end demolishes the dream


Of an open highway





Dig me.


But don’t


Bury me
